Let’s take a brief stroll through Gotham City and take a look at how the previous 'Batman: Arkham' games added improvements to keep Batman the hero we need – and we deserve.
Every game set in the Batman: Arkham universe, from the Asylum to Metropolis.
Asylum is my personal favourite. City a close second but Asylum just felt tighter, exactly what it needed to be, no more no less.
Geoff Keighley revealed a new Batman Arkham game is in the works to be released later this year, with a first look at gameplay happening at Summer Game Fest. Unfortunately for just about everyone, Batman: Arkham Shadow is a VR-only game exclusive to the Meta Quest 3. The community reaction hasn’t been great.
What a bunch of nonsense.
Gamers saw 0 seconds of actual gameplay and the author of this "article" says they don't want the game.
Troll post?
On topic, this could be good but no way to know until it's out. Glad that it's Quest 3 exclusive so it doesn't have to run on the Quest 2. If it turns out to be good, I look forward to a eventual PCVR or PSVR 2 port.
I mean, I know what a vr headset is but I've never heard of this one, I thought the big one was the Sony one. I have a friend who believed Microsoft hadn't released a new Xbox console to compete with the ps5 because series s and series x sound a lot like x and s, that's how apathetic people can be I guess
I see the industry is once again trying to bash VR. I honestly think most game companies don't want to have to cater to VR and are doing whatever they can to bury it. Which is a shame because when done right, VR games are absolutely amazing. Half Life Alyx being one of the most obvious examples. But too many people are trying to see it fail. Most of the big companies don't want to spend the extra energy on it. It's much easier to just churn out yet another call of duty that they know will make a ton of money, which from a business standpoint is understandable, but unfortunately they are preventing the evolution of a new way to experience gaming. When I see an article like this, it just makes me think that there's a real effort to cause VR to fail. Has this guy even played the game? Has he even seen any actual gameplay from it? For all he knows it could be amazing. I think the only complaint I have is that it's coming only to meta quest 3 and not PSVR2, which seems like an odd decision. Sony is dropping the ball with PSVR2 so bad. It's a great headset but they simply aren't making any effort to support it. And I think it all boils down to big companies not wanting to put the effort towards VR. But Sony needs to push harder too. How Half Life Alyx hasn't shown up or even been hinted at for PSVR2 since the headset came out is beyond me. Sony should be moving mountains to convince Valve to port the game to PS5 and PSVR2. That is the biggest chance Sony has at convincing people of what VR can do. It's sad really. I love VR games. Half Life Alyx is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. And it wouldn't have been possible any other way. I truly hope these people don't cause us to lose out on such a promising tech. But articles like this certainly don't help. And it's especially frustrating when clearly this person hasn't even tried the game yet.
if I were a massive company I wouldn't make VR games either. It's so much risk, first you have to nail making a game for VR, which we've seen is really hard to do. Secondly, the vr market is very fractured considering how small it is. Quite a decent amount of headsets for such a small space, all which have different specs, so then you gotta pick the right one. 3rd is needs to sell an astronomical amount relative to the install base for a AAA VR game to pay off. Too much if's and risks and not worth the effort.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has more in common with Gotham Knights than the Batman: Arkham games. Here's why that's a bad thing.
I'm batman'd out. He's become so over used and overrated. Maybe time to give other superheroes a go.
We dont need anymore Batman games if you ask me for the time being
I love Batman AF but tbh.... I'd love to see other DC Hero take the mantle. Like Arrow or someone like Zatanna, with different mechanics, run a bit from the Batman style. Arrow could have some parkour and lots of variation on Bows and Arrows, Zatanna introducing the magic stuff or even a Constantine detective magic stuff. Although, just my opinion.
Arkham Knight was probably the worst game in the arkham series imo, yes worse than origins. I'm looking forward to insurgency since I actually enjoyed origins.
Unfortunately I think Rocksteady has moved on. I for one, would LOVE a new Batman game, but more than likely we will not get one this generation.
Perhaps we will find out during E3 just what Rocksteady is working on. The word is Superman...but I just don't see that working out in the same way. He is bulletproof. What makes Batman accessible is that he is not immortal and does not have any powers.
Maybe a Green Arrow title? THAT would be very interesting.
